To the Editor:

[The 10 Worst Corporations of 2007 was a] well-written and thought out
list, although it could have been a list of the 100 worst
corporations.

For instance, how can you
exclude the likes of Monsanto for their bullying and threatening of
small farm operations by either denying them seed or bankrupting them by
overly aggressively pursuing patent protection through costly
lawsuits?

Also, Southwest (and most
airlines for that matter) should have been considered for flying planes
they knew hadnt been properly inspected for months and risking the
lives of thousands of passengers. Then they tried to cover up the fact
that they had ignored a cozy relationship with FAA staff who were
supposed to have oversight.

Alas, there are very few
companies nowadays which put ethics before dollars.
